That was going to be my question too. Black mirrors would really suit it now to finish off the de chrome
I have always thought that Ali mirrors are what marks an RS product, they will be staying.

I have thought about getting the grey bits on the wheels done in Matt Black when / if they need refurb. I bought the Audi Care package of 11 alloy refurbs and unlimited scratch and chip repairs for 3 years, just to keep her looking shiny!!

How about carbon. Also another S/RS visual que. I agree the allu mirrors is supposed to be a trait, but I didn't think it suited the white on my car so I colour coded them back. Makes the car a little different & I think there was only one company at the time that could do anything with Carbon housings.

I think on the white Smudge you are 100% right, black all the way, your car looks awesome. (I was going for a white one but got a £180 a month better deal for the black demo with a massive spec on it.... no brainer).

The mirrors will remain on mine!

I love it... Looks beasty.

Been thinking of getting black rings on mine. Ordered them as soon as I saw yours.
I have the chrome grill and silver rails etc. not sure if it's might contrast better with the black badge. Will put pics up when the rings arrive.
Agree with you about the wing mirrors... RS needs chrome mirrors

Currently thinking about Matt black rims as I need two refurbed thanks to some running tourists in city.

Not a fan to be honest although I agree the standard rings are too bright. I am going to have a go with dark shadow chroming them to dull them down a bit.

I think the color coded mirrors finish off the car and make it look that bit more individual.
I did mine and an happy with the look and as Brooner say's makes it look different from the 100+ Sepang blue RS4's around Aberdeen

That's because you all drive Ford RS's & Range Rovers in Essex isn't it?
